Hey guys and gals,

I usually never ask about many electric mods bc im an installer to some degree but here we go. I got Delphi 50000 unit and I have an Alpine CDE-7870 which is pretty old. I only have one set of preouts in teh back and am wondering how to hook up the Delphi XM unit directly so I dont have to use the ghetto FM mod! Somone please let me know.

Thanks,


Eddie

You would need an auxilary input into your head unit. I don't believe the CDE-7870 has one. Unfortunatly you may have to do FM modulation.

Edit: I found this. I don't know exactly what it does but it may be of some help.

The only way to do it would be if you had an AI-Net input.

if u have an ai-net input just wait a little bit, terk came out with there universal tuner w/adapters to go along w/sony, pioneer, kenwood, alpine. the sony one is currently out but the others are soon to be available

Because your head unit starts with CDE I don't believe that there is any alternative. With a alpine head unit that starts with CDA there is an adaptor for the AI-net plug that is a set of rca inputs. It costs about $25. Your deck does not have the Ai-net technology so you are stuck with the FM Modulator.

This is my experiance in 5 years of installing for a living. Take it for what it is worth to you.

Here is the link to the part I was talking about if you get a CDA model alpine deck. It is a KCA-121B Only $15 plus S/H

That's what I was using for my iPod, works great! But now that the new iPod interface is coming out, I'll have no use for it.

^^ Hope you have an ipod with a dock connector, because those are the only models that interface works with
